The political responsibility on the “data oil”

Sustainability and productivity.

Since the dawn of the industrial era, the relationship between sustainability and productivity has always been a debated and contentious topic within global chancelleries. The leaders of the major economic powers have set limits and objectives, but without indicating a shared method and strategy for building an economic model that takes into account the productive and demographic changes of our planet, while respecting both humans and nature.

While politics has modified the variables several times since 1997, for which such promises remain unchanged (and it does not mean they are still valid), they are considered ineffective today, given the continuous geo-economic evolutions that have completely excluded the institutional actor within energy and productivity policies in recent years.

In the equation where work and energy sources represent the key variables for the development of a society and the well-being of its population, the discrepancy between the service society and the society of finite materials has created an impasse in the productivity of the entire West. From the collapse of the concept of ownership to the birth of an ethereal vision of property manifestation, the new Humanism has created a new role of consumer and producer of services at the same time.

The era of services, in fact, places people as aggregators of multiple activities, even if calculated as a single unit creator of value and sharing. This phenomenon cancels the definition of consumer and producer and creates that of the economic atom capable of subdividing and aggregating pro-active particles.

Blockchain as a method and tool.

The protagonist of this revolution is certainly the blockchain technology that has modified parameters and speed of a market now stagnant in the search for an equilibrium not yet synthesized.

This technology represents not only a tool but also a method and a vision of how one desires to build a model of society and therefore collective well-being. The blockchain will be fundamental in the political debate within the health and safety binomial and in the challenge between sustainability and energy sources, in the new market of flows between human and financial capitals and in recognizing in this way a coexistence of interests that open the way to intelligent hubs where the creation of the service is inherent in the system sharing between the operating subject and structure.

Such a view opens a fundamental debate today on digital voting and the spread of a culture of “data” that aims at the necessary codification as the basis and priority of a legislative update on privacy and legal ethics towards the new digital generations, robotics, and artificial intelligences.

Therefore, the blockchain represents a first piece that outlines the watershed between a twentieth-century vision and a modern shared consciousness in which the “data oil” represents the new wealth of the 5.0 market to be put as a common factor for the economic growth of companies and the country’s system.
